Don't worry, there's no connection.

Just screw in the Alternator tensioning screw to release the belt's tension and it should slip off relatively easily. Then when you've replaced it with a new belt screw out the tensioner so there's about 1/2" of belt deflection under strong thumb pressure.

edit: "adjusting bolt C" in Jon's instructions below is the 'tensioner' to which I was referring.

Ol' days there was no tensioner, just a nut and you had to [very carefully] pry on the white metal body of the alternator while tightening the nut, so things have gotten much easier in this regard.
